MANURHIN MR 73 Match .32 or .38 Special NEW The prince of revolvers! Single action only .32 S&W Long (6” barrel) or 38 Special (5 3/4”barrel) designed specificallyfor ISSF Centrefire competition---$3885

MANURHIN MR 73 Sport .357 mag NEW barrels either 6", 5 1/4" & 4” suited for Service Pistol, WA1500, CISM etc.The MR73 Sport has the shortest hammer throw 42° and both the hammer energy and the trigger weight are independently adjustable by the shooter--$3785

Production ceased a year or two back allowing Chappius Armes to build a new production facility for the MR73 using state of the art computerised machinery which I am told helps in achieving tolerances and consistency not previously obtained.

The price varies slightly depending on the currency fluctuation, however the first allocation sold for around $4000 AUD.

Having shot both, I prefer the Manurhin as it is .38 vs .357 for the Korth.The Korth is a lot heavier and I think the MR73 is a better balance.Having shot both the MR73 .32 and .38 together for a number of years I found that the .38 was more accurate.For the precision side of the match the .38 performs better than the .32 (in either a revolver or auto).The .38 seems to have better ballistics and is easier to reload high quality ammo.The rapidfire stage requires that you be well trained, the revolver shootswell but it is easy to make mistakes.

If you cannot afford a Manurhin MR73 a good old S&W 14 masterpiece with agood grip will do the job.

Over the years I have found one fault with the Mr73 Match, the extended rearsight is vulnerable to knocks and bends easily.Even when packed in 2 inch foam case airline baggage handlers have managed togive the case a big enough hit to bend the sight arm.They can be straightened with gentle heat but only once and if you break ityou have to buy a complete rear sight ..$$$$$I took mine off and carefully put it away and now run the combat sight off themagnum.
